My trip to New York

I went to New York a few years ago. I went solo. I stayed on Manhattan Island, but that's where everything is. I was there for a week and stayed for a few days at the Jazz on the Town in the East Village. The rooms were cramped and there wasn't a communal lounge but it was ok to sleep in. On one night coming home from the local pubs, it seems that there's a pub at every corner, I had to look around my hostel room for my glasses, which I had misplaced. I got in a bit of trouble since I was looking in the wrong hostel room. For some reason, I couldn't stay the following day. Most of my nights consisted in going to the local pubs where I met some charming waitresses and interesting New Yorkers. One such New Yorker told me he had been to 300 bars in his life. There were probably a good dozen right where I was staying. During the day I checked out the touristy stuff. I went up the Empire State building and went on a ferry to check out the Statue of Liberty. There was more security to see the Statue, then at airports. The Statue is actually not that tall. I also checked out a musical called the Producers. It was awesome with much hilarity. I was right up there in the balcony. I also stayed at the Carlton Arms Hotel, where there was no TV or phone. However, there was a nice decor to the room.
I don't remember much from New York, since I spent my evenings in bars, but I saw a few art galleries. They say New Yorkers are rude. I did not find that to be true. On my way to the museum, a few people helped me find my way. A barfly even bought me a beer. I'll say this though, many people thought I was there to find work and I met quite a few people trying to find work. As they say, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.
